If peace, calm and a little spirituality is what you are craving for, head to this amazing resort in Jageshwar, 31km from Almora.

Right in the lap of green hills, amidst Deodar forests and boasting of a 360 degree view of the Nanda Kot range, the resort is a a true hideaway.

Take the cycle and ride to the many stone temples preserved by (Archaeological Survey of India) and dedicated to Lord Shiva.

After you have paid your obeisance, walk back and engage in bird-watching in forest paths. Visit the local market and pick local Kumaoni foods, come back and get back to reading your favourite book with endless cups of coffee.
